Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ ذَكَرَهُ قَابُوسُ بْنُ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا سَلْمَانُ لَا تُبْغِضْنِي فَتُفَارِقَ دِينَكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ أُبْغِضُكَ وَبِكَ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ قَالَ تُبْغِضُ الْعَرَبَ فَتُبْغِضُنِي.
English Translation
Shuja' ibn al-Walid told us, he said: Qabus ibn Abi Zabyan mentioned it, from his father, from Salman, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Salman, do not hate me, lest you leave your religion." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, how could I hate you when it is through you that Allah has guided us?" He said: "You would hate the Arabs, and so hate me."
